Cheering crowds lined the entire route to watch. The entertainment continued inside the park during the evening. Ilford Swimming Club held swimming and diving displays, polo matches and team races. An amusing incident happened during the aquatic sports, a young man rowing on the lake witnessed a woman falling overboard from another boat. He immediately dived in to rescue the damsel in distress only to find it was a man dressed as a woman. A concert took place on the bandstand and elsewhere in the park the Horns Silver Band played music selections while girls from Ilford Gymnasium performed calisthenics while swinging Indian clubs.
